Thanks everybody. This has to be the most rewarding bow so far for me.
Kevin, I do have a couple more and also some tightly snaked osage cut this spring from the same place the post was left leaning.
DC, thanks. I guess it is a good even bend but it did take a couple inches set that I think it may be due to the integrity of the wood from the rot/crack running along the limb...but it could be tillering too
Clint, I don't think it is for BOM. That will hopefully be the sister to this bow.
Yeah Brian, it was a great way to pay respect and it made me realize even more how important he has been in the direction of my life. Thought a lot about my eldest sister who died this year also and was the reason for the trip back home in the first place.
Hope to see one from your staves someday.
